Starting with Roundcube in cPanel is straightforward. You can access it either through your cPanel dashboard or via a direct link, which is often faster for daily use.
1. Accessing Roundcube via cPanel
If you are already logged into your hosting control panel, follow these steps:
- Log in to cPanel.
- Locate the Email section and click on Email Accounts.
- Find the email address you want to access and click the Check Email button next to it.
- You will be taken to the Webmail home screen. Look for the Roundcube logo and click Open.
Pro Tip: Check the box "Open my inbox when I log in" to skip this screen next time.
2. Accessing Roundcube Directly
You don't need to log in to the main cPanel dashboard every time. Use one of these URLs in your browser:
https://example.com/webmailhttps://webmail.example.comhttps://example.com:2096(The official port for webmail)
Replace example.com with your actual domain name. You will then be prompted to enter your full email address and its password.
3. Navigating the Interface
Once you are in, the layout is similar to most modern email apps:
| Feature | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Compose | The "Create" or "Compose" button is usually in the top left sidebar. |
| Folders | Inbox, Sent, Junk, and Trash are listed on the left panel. |
| Settings | Click the Settings gear icon (usually bottom-left or top-right) to change your signature, theme, or display density. |
| Contacts | Click the Address Book icon to manage your saved recipients. |
4. Setting up a Signature
- Go to Settings > Identities.
- Select your email address from the list.
- Type your desired signature into the Signature box.
- If you want to add images or bold text, click the HTML signature icon.
- Click Save.
Quick Troubleshooting
- Can't log in? Ensure you are using the full email address (e.g., info@yourdomain.com) as the username, not just "info."
- Blank Screen? Try clearing your browser cache or opening the link in an Incognito/Private window.
